While the police chase the youth through the carriages, one of the rebellious rockers sings the hit song ‘Psycho Killer’ by the American band Talking Heads.2 It is the first of Leto’s (2018) three musical sequences which characterize and give meaning to this Russian film musical about what it was like to be part of the underground rock subculture in Leningrad in the early 1980s. Leto (Russian for ‘summer’) follows Viktor Tsoy, singer and guitarist in Kino, generally considered one of Russia’s most popular and influential rock bands.3 While the film tells the story of the love triangle that emerges over the summer between Viktor, his friend and Zoopark-frontman Mayk Naumenko, and Mayk’s wife Natalia ‘Natasha’ Naumenko, the political climate wherein the characters live and make music is much more interesting about this film. Leto is not the first film made about Viktor Tsoy and Kino. Several documentaries about Tsoy’s work exist, which makes sense considering that Kino found relative fame even under Soviet rule before he died in a car crash in 1990. These include the short The End of the Holidays (1986), The Final Concert (1990), Sunny Days (1996), and the more recent You Just Want To Know (2007)4 – all of which are difficult to find in Western Europe. Leto, by Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, is remarkably different. It is not a documentary film nor a rockumentary, but Tsoy’s story is cast into a fascinatingly American genre: the film musical. 1 Leto, directed by Kirill Serebrennikov (Moscow: Hype Film/Kinovista, 2018), screener, 00:21:48. 2 Leto, 00:21:07-00:26:16. 3 William Jay Risch, “Introduction,” in Youth and Rock in the Soviet Bloc: Youth Cultures, Music, and State in Russia and Eastern Europe, ed. William Jay Risch (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2014), 21-22. 4 David MacFadyen, “The Russian ‘Rockumentary’: Documentary Films and Rock, Pop, and Chanson,” The Russian Review 69.4 (2010), 677. Van Nimwegen 3 The film musical has traditionally been dominated by Hollywood. The film genre first developed in Hollywood in the 1920s, and soon became an example for other national cinemas to look towards.5 Since then, “no national cinema has produced any body of film musicals to compete with the sustained output of Hollywood.”6 While a resulting predominantly American focus in academic writing may very well be explained – on the basis of this dominance as well as on the fact that many theorists writing in English work in the United States – this does in no way justify ignoring other musical cinemas, especially considering their worldwide popularity.7 The first reason for specifically discussing the Russian film musical Leto, is that the film’s subject matter is explicitly tied to a tension between Russian and American culture and policies. This tension between American and local cultures can be detected in all international musical films employing the Hollywood model, yet is heavily underexposed in academia. Previous studies have failed to adequately address what the use of a typically American genre might signify in non-Western films. Yet, the use of a film genre that is so typically based on and tied to an American tradition is essential to the meaning Leto’s musical scenes transfer to the audience. Secondly, Leto is a self-reflective musical in the sense that one specific character of the film, Skeptic, comments on the artificial character of these musical scenes, hinting at their utopian quality. As film musicals present their musical numbers “in an imaginary space [...] contained within a narrative framework,”8 I wish to argue in this thesis that Leto’s surrealist musical moments constitute not just an escape from the film’s narrative, but that in these moments wherein the storyline is temporarily halted speaks a longing for Western musical freedom unattainable for the film’s characters. The utopian musical scenes 5 Richard Traubner, Thomas L. Gayda, and John Snelson, 2001, “Film Musical,” Grove Music Online, Oxford Music Online, Oxford University Press, accessed July 3, 2019. 6 Grant, Hollywood Film Musical, 4. 7 Corey K. Creekmur and Linda Y. Mokdad, “Introduction,” in The International Film Musical, eds. Corey K. Creekmur and Linda Y. Mokdad (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2013), 2. 8 Grant, Hollywood Film Musical, 1. Van Nimwegen 4 are set in direct opposition to the bleak reality of early 1980s Soviet restrictions on musical practices. The main question this thesis answers is therefore the following: how does Leto’s genre, being the film musical, represent a utopian longing for Western musical freedom? In order to answer this question, the first chapter comprises of the theoretical framework and methodology. It describes the current state of academic knowledge on the topic of contemporary Russian film musicals and critically evaluate the relevant sources related to this fairly niche subject in English-language literature. I will then present my methods to study the film at hand, borrowing mainly from film studies, popular music studies and film music studies, with a considerable role set aside for Anahid Kassabian’s concepts. The second chapter focuses in more detail on the film’s protagonists and plot, providing a broader description of musical life in the early 1980s Soviet Russia and positioning the American music employed in the musical scenes within that historic setting. The following sub-question will be answered in this chapter: how was Anglo-American pop and rock music received in the early 1980s Leningrad? As Barry Keith Grant argues in relation to the Hollywood musical and rock ‘n’ roll, “any analysis of the film musical is necessarily incomplete without a consideration of the genre’s relation to developments in popular music.”9 The third and fourth chapter concern itself with Leto as an American film musical and the utopian status of the film musical genre. In order to illustrate how the musical scenes constitute a utopian realm, I discuss all three musical scenes in Leto, hereinafter referred to as: the Psycho Killer-sequence,10 The Passenger-sequence11 and the Perfect Day-sequence.12 In addition

    „Somero“ – plej nova filmo de Kirill Serebrennikov (2018): Filmo pri kaj por la libereco Kiel Ruslando de Putin memorigas la iaman sovetian tempon Simbola kritiko pri la Putin-reĝimo fare de nova filmo de Kirill Serebrennikov akompanita de nova skandalo pri persekutata artisto De Andreas Künzli (Svislando) „Leto“ (somero) estas nova filmo de la renoma rusa reĝisoro Kirill Serebrennikov pri la legendecaj sovetiaj rokmuzikistoj de la 1980aj jaroj. En la centro de la biografia omaĝo staras Mike kaj Viktor, kiuj estas la ĉefaj protagonistoj de la politike subpremita sovetia rokribelo kun ties muzikgrupoj, adorantoj kaj amikoj, kiuj enkondukis la rokmuzik-kulturon en Sovetunion. En la realeco temas pri Miĥail Naumenko (1955-91), nomita Mike, kiu estis konata rokmuzi- kisto, stelulo de la leningrada roksceno kaj agnoskata fakulo pri okcidenta rokmuziko. Li ludis en la grupo „Aquarium“ kaj poste fondis la grupon „Zoopark“, kiu celebris la stilon de „New-Wave“. La alia heroo, Viktor Coi (1962-90), kiu posedis kultan statuson kaj estis komparita kun Kurt Cobain, la usona ikono de la „Gruge“-stilo, fariĝis la plej populara sovetia popkantisto, kies unika kariero kulminis en la neforgesata rokgrupo „Kino“. Laŭ inspiro de la muziko de David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads, Marc Bolan, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones k.s., kies diskoj estis pludonitaj inter personaj amikoj kaj ŝatantoj de la rokmuziko, en Leningrado estiĝis alternativa muziksceno, kiu allogis interesatan publikon, kiu vizitis la koncertojn de sovetiaj rokmuzikistoj. En Sovetunio rokmuziko estis konsiderata kiel dubinda ĝenro kaj limigis sin precipe al Leningrado. Nature, ĉio, kio estis malpermesita, estis interesa.

Instruktør: Kirill Serebrennikov Premierebiografer: Grand Teatret, Øst for Paradis, Biffen Aalborg, Café Slotsbio, Café Bio Odense, Parkteatret Frederikssund, Valby Kino, Vester Vov Vov, Nicolai Bio & Café m.fl. Synopsis Leningrad, en sommer i begyndelsen af 80’erne. LP’er af Lou Reed og David Bowie smugles ind i landet i stor stil, undergrundens rockscene koger under Perestroika. Mayk kæmper for at promovere rockmusikken i et kontrolleret Sovjet. En dag møder han den unge Viktor Tsoi, der har de musikalske evner til at skråle den sovjetiske befolkning op. Mayks kone Natalia bliver fascineret af denne nye stjerne, og det samme gør Mayk. Der udspiller sig ligeså stille et trekantsdrama. Trailer og pressemateriale kan hentes på: https://www.angelfilms.dk/leto Kontakt: Peter Sølvsten Thomsen, [email protected] PRODUCER’S STATEMENT: ILYA STEWART In an era that can be characterized by an absence of hope and promises and an abundance of cynicism, Leto is a project that is unusual in its stated goal of telling the simple story of a first, honest love. From the very start, and from the first draft of Michael Idov’s script, it was clear that Leto would be, at heart, a classic coming-of-age tale. But the main character just so happens to be Viktor Tsoï, one of Russia’s most important rock icons. He would indeed become a symbol of change in a country desperately longing for it. His revolutionary lyrics and the songs’ symbolism would become the attributes and catchphrases of the shift towards democracy, up until the first elections.

  • When Bob Dylan Came to Russia. Singer-Songwriters and the Emergence of Rock Poetry in 1970S Leningrad
    When Bob Dylan came to Russia. Singer-Songwriters and the Emergence of Rock Poetry in 1970s Leningrad Tomi Huttunen Abstract The article discusses Bob Dylan’s influence on the late Soviet Russian culture, i.e. the Leningrad rock music and culture, as well as Dylan’s reception in the early stages of the Russian language rock poetry. I analyse adaptations of Dylan’s songs in the 1970s – 1980s rock songs by Mikhail Naumenko and Boris Grebenschikov, especially concentrating on their joint project, the unofficially recorded magnitizdat album Vse bratya – syostry (All the Brothers are Sisters, 1978) and the various intertextual strategies applied by these poets in creating the basis for the Leningrad rock poetry genre. When Bob Dylan came to Russia In the summer of 1972, a 19-year-old mathematics student, a beginning singer- songwriter named Boris Grebenshikov and his friend, a drummer and theatre student named Anatoly Gunitsky, were wandering around Leningrad thinking of a suitable name for their band, which consisted of just the two of them. Typical of those years in Leningrad, they had already given themselves Anglo-American nicknames. Anatoly was ‘George’ Gunitsky, because Grebenshikov had decided 66 TOMI HUTTUNEN he looked like George Harrison (Burlaka 2007, vol. 1: 254). Boris was ‘Bob’ Grebenshikov, since he had heard Bob Dylan on the radio and admired him. After a couple of hours wandering around the city, they decided to call their band Akvarium (Aquarium). Eventually, it would be one of the most legendary of all Soviet Russian unofficial rock groups. George Gunitsky’s nickname has remained the same until today, and it emphasises the importance of George Harrison for the Leningrad rock scene.
